"This is Funker Vogt doing what Funker Vogt does best; commenting on the brutality and the utter futility of mankind and its occupation with war. Simply looking over the names of the songs lent to this work showcases that fact, with the thirteen songs rarely straying from the message they've held high since the beginning. It an odd array that steps outside the typical methodology of approaching this type of message, too, leaning a bit more toward the dance floor than some of the more aggressively pitched songs of the past and coupling harsh vocals to underwrite the meaning behind the music. This paints a bleak picture of sorrorw and suffering, exhibiting with sound what many have painted before in other mediums. In my opinion, Funker Vogt shows great progress as a band whose work was already seeded with greatness and simply needed polishing in a few areas. They've begun the reengineering of their sound slowly, beautifying it in places and keeping some of the aggression in others, taking the middle ground that drifts further and further into the realm of harsh electronica as the band rediscovers the approach they want to use. This, coupled with the fact that their lyrics, although rough in some ways, still convey the mentality of man and the message that the band wants to get across as it asks you to ponder something, more than makes them worthy of purchase.Still, listening to the opinion of someone is simply that, and the doubting can listen for themselves here and also look into Metropolis to find out if its for them."

Dance Groove For The Future War Generation

"Simpley the best album I've bought within the Trance Electronica genre. If there ever was to be a movie made based on my sci-fi novel "Amerikkka Part Two", I simply would have to have "Fortunes Of War" as part of the soundtrack. Come to think of it, Funker Vogt should just do all of the music.



True the subject matter within all the tracks are all on future war and/or dystopia ( unlike say FV's "We Came To Kill" album), but hell....the more the merrier. And the Trance is dancable too, unlike say Paul Oakenfold's "Cheese Trance" or some the other more loungy Trance performers. Over all 5 stars."
